JAMES L. EAMES, JR., OF MILLVILLE, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOB OF ONE-HALF TOTHOMAS EAMES, OF MILLVILLE, NEW JERSEY.

ASHTRECEPTACLE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES L. EAMES, J r., a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Millville, in the county of Cumberland and State ofNew Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inAsh-Receptacles, of which the following is a specificatlon.

My invention relates to improvements in ash receptacles, and moreparticularly to an attachment for chair arms and the like which isnormally out of the way under the arm of the chair, but which may bereadily swung to its outward position in convenient reach.

While I refer to my improvements as an ash receptacle, it is to beunderstood, of course, that the receptacle may be put to various otheruses, and hence it is the object of my invention to so construct andarrange the several parts that they can be readily removed and washed,or otherwise sterilized to keep them in a sanitary condition.

With these and other objects in View, the invention consists in certainnovel features of construction and combinations and ar- In theaccompanying drawings: Figure 1 is. a view in side elevationillustrating my improvements in connection with a chair arm. Fig.2 is atop plan view showing the receptacle in its outward position, and Fig. 3is an inverted plan view.

1 represents a support which I will refer to as admin arm. I 2.is thesupporting plate of my improved attachment, which is removably connectedto the under face of the arm 1 by metal guides-3; These-guides aresecured by screws 4.- or otherwise to the bottom'of the chair arm, andthe ends of plate2 are slid into the guides and can be easily removedwhenever I desired.)

. A frame '5 is pivotally connected by a' stud "6 .to the bottom ofplate 2, and this frame 5- comprises a bar of metal which is bent intogeneral oblong shape at one end as shown at 7 to support a receptacle 8.The other end of the frame is relatively narrow as shown'at 9, and thetwo sections of the bar at this narrow portion 9 are secured to oppositesides of a block 10, the latter mounted to turn on the'stud 6 abovereferred to Specification of Letters IPatent.

' and held thereon by the enlarged head 16 of the stud. It will be notedthat the block 10 is'located between the ends of the frame,

, so that a push on the narrow end of the frame at one side of the block10 will cause the larger end of the frame to swing outwardly and movethe receptacle 8 to the position shown in Fig. 2.

I preferably oif-set a portion of the frame as shown at 11, so that thisportion extends slightly beyond the edge of the chair arm, and place onthis portion the word Push. This is readily seen, and the occupant ofthe chair following sueh instructions will force the receptacle to itsoutward position.

The movement of the frame 5 in both directions is limited by a singlepin 12. This pin engages one end of the receptacle holding portion 7 ofthe frame when the frame is in its inward position as shown in Fig. 3,and is engaged by the narrower'end of the frame when the receptacle isprojected in its outward position as shown in Fig. 2.

The receptacle 8 indicated on the drawings, is made with a flange 17 atits upper edge, resting upon the frame 5, and is provided with apartition 13 dividing the same into a relatively large compartment 14and a relatively small compartment 15 which ma contain various articles,and while. I pre erably construct the receptacle 8 of glass, I do notlimit myself to the material employed nor do I limit myself to theparticular use to which the receptacle is put, but its principal purposeis that of an ash receiver.

Various slight changes might be made in the general form and arrangementof parts described without departing from my invention, and hence I donot limit myself to the precise details set forth, but consider myselfat liberty. tomake'such changes and alterations as fairly fall withinthe spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is: l

1. An attachment of the character described, comprising a frameproviding an opening and including an offset extension, a member havinga depending pivot pin, means included in said offset extension havingahole through which the pivot pin extends, .a receptacle: fitting saidopening, said ofi'set extension having a portion designed to be manuallypressed to facilitate the movement of said frame on its pivot,substantially as described.

2. An attachment of the character described, comprising a plate, meansfor detachably connecting the plate to a support, a pivot pin dependingfrom said plate, a

frame having an opening and an offset ex-- and positioned under thesupport, a stud depending. from the plate, a frame relatively large atone end forming a receptacle support and relatively narrow at its otherend constituting a push member, a block secured to the frame at a pointremoved from its narrower end and having an'opening therein receivingthe stud, said stud having a head on its lower end, and a pin projectingdownwardly from the plate and limiting the pivotal movement of the framein both directions, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thetwo subscriblng witnesses.
